But the question is: How will I play the game? LotRO is one of those classic MMOs with so much content that we won't be hurting for choices. I bought the lifetime option when the game launched, making me a current VIP, so this should open up some additional options.

For this first week, you'll be choosing how I begin. Should I use an existing character or start fresh? Check out the polls after the jump below while I try to remember my account name and password.

Get those votes in by Saturday, July 27th, at 9 p.m. EDT so I can begin my journey in time for next week's write-up.

It's Shawn's turn back in the driver's seat of Choose My Adventure with you as the co-pilot. It's going to be a rough ride, so put on your seat belt! If you want to read a full six weeks of farcical puns about cars and farming, be sure to tune in every Wednesday as the adventure continues to unfold.
